Prostate enlargement is generally referred to as prostate hyperplasia. The
prostate volume of normal adult males is relatively fixed. In physical examination, the morphological structure of the prostate can be observed through imaging examination. If the size exceeds the normal range, it indicates that the prostate is enlarged, which is generally called prostate hyperplasia. Usually, the appearance of prostate hyperplasia is related to age growth, inflammation, lifestyle, etc., early symptoms are not obvious, and later may cause urinary tract obstruction, urgency, frequent urination, urinary retention, etc.
